Hello!This post seems detailed and easy to follow. I still don't want to mess it up!

I do want to install an EP, so I thought I shouldn't do step 6. I wanted to update it as instructed in step 7 but a message popped up "There are no patches avaliable for download." I don't want to ignore a step and act on my own, I'm being extra careful.

So I have a pretty basic question. Since I've already purchased the base game and I have a dvd for it, but I want to add on ep's. Would I need to uninstall and download a ripped version of the base game for all of this to work? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, not sure where else to ask. :newfag:

Your version will work fine, there isn't really a difference between the real version and the ripped version (If the ripped version is done correctly. (Ours for Mac for some reason doesn't seem to work correctly. ))

I click on the app and the window of the sims appears saying that I'm not connected to internet then when I click on the start button the app stops working and op disappears !

No I can't play. when I click on the statrt button two appear in the dock and they quickly disappear. I followed all the steps of the link you posted. I hadnt to change anything because it was already changed by itself. ANd when I try to click on TS3.exe to start the game theres a message that appears and says: You can’t open the application “TS3.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.

I tried the Ultimate Fix but still doesn't work !!-I installed Sims 3-I copied Info from the crack file into contents file-Copied TS3.exe from the crack file into Bin file after I copied both TS3W.exe and TSLHost.dll into Bin file (replace) Nothing happens! When I click on the app the launcher window appears saying that I'm offline (no internet which can't be because I'm connected to internet but the launcher says the opposite) and when I click in the button of start the game the app closes! I had the game like 4 days ago but I had to delete it and now I'm trying to reinstall it but doesn't work!! Please please help meeeee ((((And when I didn't copy the crack the launcher window says that I'M using an illegal version of the game and that I should buy the original one blabla Merry Christmas

You only have the base game? Step 2 of the fix says "2. In order for this Fix to work, you need AT LEAST one of the following expansions: Seasons, Supernatural, Diesel Stuff, Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats, Showtime, Master Suite Stuff, Pets, Town Life Stuff, Generations!"

You can get any of these through G4TW torrents.

But before we get carried away with that:- Where did you get your base game? Did you get it here?- Can you post a picture, or just the file path, of where you are putting the crack in?

@koukoMaybe try downloading a different crack file and see if it changes your situation? (You should be replacing both the info.plist and TS3.exe files.)

EDIT//I now remember having a problem launching the base game back in the day; just got reminded of it!! Sorry I've been having a laggy brain all week The issue for me was not having cider (the emulator that allows the game to run on Macs) start up for some reason, and I had to manually launch it myself. If you'd like to try that,1. Do a clean uninstall of your game. Below is a tutorial on how to check if you have any preference files that should be deleted:http://bluebellflora.com/ts3-on-a-mac/how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-and-reinstall-on-a-mac-22. Install game3. Apply crack4. Manual patch5. Go to: Applications/The Sims 3/Contents/MacOS/cider and launch your game from there

@jatyro91When you create your .dmg, you should see a new disk appear under the "Devices" panel in the sidebar of your Finder. Click on that, use it to install your game, and unmount it when you are done & ready to play.

I followed the directions to the T, but at first it wouldn't work. I figured out that you need to use the mac ultimate fix completely, and follow those directions in full. Not just pay attention to the #crack folder like it says above.

Hey i'm having a problem with the dmg file for the sims 3 world adventures. I downloaded the game at the Games4theworld torrentSo it should work on a mac...

I unrared the file, then created the empty dmg file like said in the steps. After that, I copied the files of the EP's folder after a double-click on the folder. Then I pasted it in the dmg file. But when i tried opening the dmg file, it didn't open the installation program :/I went in the devices where the dmg file is, but the files in the folder are still in .exe Why?

Also I read in this topic that someone had the same problem and the answer was that his game wasn't compatible with mac. But the expansion i downloaded is compatible with mac, isn't it?

I'm not positive this is the answer, but I didn't try and run the dmg file. I copied the files into the .dmg file just like you did, but once they were in there I clicked the circular sims icon to run it, rather than try and run the entire dmg file. Try that.

Yeah, it worked fine for me. I have every expansion installed and it loads up. I haven't played it yet, just launched it and got all the way into a game so I'm pretty sure it works. The only other thing I can think of asking is if you got the sims 3 base game from reloaded? Or did you get it from g4tw. Because I know there are extra steps you need to take to get world adventures to work with g4tw's base game on PC, so I assume its the same for Mac.

I got it from g4tw at first but they told me it doesn't play on mac. So i downloaded the sims 3 reloaded. Then i installed sims 3 adventures but it said that this game isn't compatible with sims 3. It's the same for sims 3 supernatural :/ How did you do to make your game play? Maybe i have to change the sku number, but i don't know how to do it on mac.

By the way, all the other add ons work so i guess the problem is with sims 3 WA and sims 3 supernatural...

You need to open a file on the .dmg called "The Sims 3 World Adventures Installer.app" (that's the mac version of the installer; ignore the .exe files)

I downloaded another time Sims 3 from Games4theworld.org and still doesnt work!!!!! Do you know how to uninstall it completely since all I do to delete the app is putting the app in the trash. I'm really desperate

To completely uninstall, use the application in your Sims 3 folder called Sims 3 Uninstaller.

I'm having the same problem with the dmg. I followed all the steps exactly but when I go into the dmg folder I click on "The Sims 3 Seasons Installer" and the icon comes up on my dock and just bounces then goes off. Nothing else comes up. I've also tried the other files but they're all .exe. (Downloaded Seasons from G4TW)
